Canadian Health Care is not FREE.. it is a Universal Health Care plan available to all Canadians paid for by all Canadian taxpayers.
Do a lot of Canadians have to file for medical bankruptcies?
@@bemusedbandersnatch2069do Americans have to wait 20 months for spinal surgery 😐
@@hardatak dunno. Last time someone I knew had a major surgery they went to Costa Rica instead. It was like half the cost even with the travel and hotel included.
It's not paid by taxpayers, we are borrowing that money. Future generations may pay for it some day.
@@bemusedbandersnatch2069 That's the difference, socialism says nothing is available while capitalism says you can't afford anything.
At least with capitalism you have an option. In Canada many go to the USA, you can wait years, no one cares if it's too late to treat you
So...the lamp immigrated to Canada.
Welcome!
Sorry dude. The lamp has got to go.
😂😂😂
It would be more useful than most immigrants.
@@g.w.7893 Present company included, I presume. If you're anywhere in North America, & you're not Indigenous, you're one of the immigrants you so charmingly describe as useless.
Leave your lamps. Lamps, don't come.
Americans move to Canada and find out things suck, Canadians move to the US and find out things suck. Better to just stay where you are and deal with the suck that you know.
I mean, the better answer is to just be rich, preferably by inheriting. Private care is the best care you can get in the US or Canada.
@@shazrael446 Make yourself wealthy first. Americans don't live frugal and make their idles wealthy, and than wonder what happened when they turn 65. Many that can invest are afraid to invest etc. The best thing Americans can do is get a government job. The government takes care of it's own.
@fred-ts9pb the best thing anyone can do is be born rich. The wealthy also take care of their own.
Life is short. No desire to settle for misery.
The suck you created
"Hallway at the hospital was full." This is not a joke. This is true.
happens here in the US too. Patients in the waiting rooms, exam rooms and on chairs and stools by the nursing stations in the ED
This happened to me once in America. But to be fair, it was in COVID times. 😆 They were also splitting rooms up with curtains and setting up new curtains in hallways. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Arwing-t3rit’s alll the time lol only difference is you’re going to pay thousands for it in America
I feared they were taking him to the end of life care...😧
En France, après les couloirs et les parking, la dernière innovation est de parquer les malades ”en trop” dans le garage de l’hôpital.
This is basically how Texans feel about all the Californians moving here. 😂
Ditto in Florida.
Amen!
Yeah, we went through that from the mid 70's till the 2000's here in Oregon. One of the greatest governors we ever had was Tom McCall. His line was "Come to Oregon to visit, but don't plan to stay!" Look at our cities now with liberal policies. They're ruined.
Same here in Vegas, they are everywhere wearing masks
Yeah, and they quickly get buyers' remorse and move right back.
I lived in Winnipeg in 2011 as an American digital nomad. Back in those days, the Canadian dollar was just about 'at par' with the US dollar. Even so, everything from groceries, health & beauty supplies, household goods, etc. in Winnipeg was 30 to 50 % more expensive than back home in North Dakota (120 miles/ 193 km away). I then learned that many people from Manitoba would drive to North Dakota for their prescription eyeglasses because, yep, they were 30 to 50 % less expensive, as well. Quite a few Canadians would come down to clinics and hospitals in North Dakota because they could get certain medical procedures and surgeries faster. No, not less expensive, but just faster and without sitting on a waiting list for months.
fargo is basically manitoba's hospital and shopping mall
And that is their choice to make. It may not be perfect but at least we have each other's backs here, and in every other major country of the world too. Not one of us would give it up either.
Well over 20 years ago, as a cardiac ICU nurse, I had a Canadian pt. nearly cry because all three of our cath labs were in use. He told me if he didnt get into the cath lab soon enough the Canadian health department would declare him stable enough to fly back to Canada. Then he would have to, at the time, go on a waiting list for several months.
The goal at the time in the hospital where I worked was 40minutes from the time the patient was diagnosed with a major heart attack to being in the cath lab.
Michigan resident here. Same kind of stories as I lived in 2 border areas most of my life. Even the hospitals(2) had a good share of Canadian nurses because they could not find work in the Canadian health system & of course pay (( wages).😊
Depends on the region in Canada. During the worst of COVID alot of Canadians moved from Ontario to Newfoundland Canada (my region) to discover that what they were paying in monthly rent for a tiny studio apartment in an city was the same price of a monthly mortgage payment of a 4 bedroom house with a large backyard (and sometimes it was alot cheaper). Alot of them got culture shocked to see that their new bathroom is bigger than their last apartment and that their new house is bigger than the houses they were raised in Ontario. I bought my house in 2013 and I pay 193$ twice a month in mortgage payments for my 5 bedroom house with 3 acres of land.
Well, it's not like Canadians can afford to buy the houses here...
You think Po go live usa
@afungusamungus2860 answer it
Clever ones can.
Where do you live ? I might be able to help
It'll just get worse. Work on your own backyard before you invite others over.
I will leave you here with the lamp Helen!
Absolutely hilarious.
Forgot the 2 UHaul boxes.
as an american who moved to Canada, this made my day
Canada sucks because of Trudeau
Welcome
Laughing at ourselves is a favorite pass time. 😊
I thought people would leave Canada and settle in the US.
@ashishsharma4853 some do, but when Trudeau is gone, soon, and we will overcome the difficulties. I lived in California and even in the 1980's it was not great. Part of my education was going to 'feeding' centre's. No place is perfect so I came back home to Canada.
I got a pizza comin' 🤣🤣😂
From pizza corner?
Butter chicken pizza??🤣
Hawaiian! 😅
🇨🇦Double Double 🍁huh?
With Canadian bacon?
As someone in his 60's, ive seen the quality healthcare that was the envy of the entire planet. WTF-ever we have now IS NOT THAT. Such a shame that Canadian Healthcare has fallen so far.
yeah well you keep voting for right wingers who want to privatise it.
The only way that's gonna happen is if they defund the public system then claim it doesn't work, and then really stupid people believe them.
The Newcomers need it more than you.
That's what happens when we allow our educational institutions to educate people that have no intention of practicing within the country. It's even a 2 pronged problem. Foreigners take up spots in our educational institutions knowing their country will allow them to transfer over while Canada makes it difficult for Canadians to study abroad and transfer over to become a doctor here.
@@ryanthompson3737 I'd say its a mix of that and them not being able to transfer their skills from back home. Try asking your next Uber driver about their job background. I've seen mathematicians, electricians, plumbers, restaurant owners, English teachers, etc. A lot of them can't even use their high school diploma from back home and would be required to get a GED/CAEC, which is just not attainable when you're working fresh off the boat with family who depend on you. Getting a GED and THEN getting a college/university degree back to back would take years.
Yup.. a real shame we've allowed privatization to slowly eek it's way in and deteriorate the system.
Gotta love the guy on the gurney, he's got a pizza comin'🍕🐿😂
22 minutes still coming in with the good skits. grew up watching the older 22 minutes crew on Cable and they still got it :D
Actually laughed out loud at this one! Thanks so much 22 minutes always making a Canadian's day brighter.
Disagreeing on this not funny at all
Mark Critch, all the way from Newfieland eh.
@@abdablelow6031Curious... why is the 22 minutes sketch not funny in your opinion?
I miss this show. All we have in the states is a horrible SNL and those unfunny late night leftists. 😢
I did not expect that ending lol
Was relieved at the ending!!! Thought for a moment maybe that was what Canada was becoming and I was horrified at the thought
@@Glyn-gq8ts I know, right? Good to know they really are lefty loons, huh?
@@Glyn-gq8tspretty sure it already is lol, liberals and Trudeau have divided the country like never before, should be interesting to see how the civil goes down soon
Why not, Mexico has 5000 different kind of peppers growing down there… How many are growing up north?
@@Glyn-gq8tsyou’d be naive to think that. People are getting more radical political views as days pass by
“Free healthcare” LMAO! 🤣
Still cheaper than having multiple private companies charge thousands of dollars for insurance without the assurance that your illness will be covered by them.
Do you pay $200,000 in taxes though?
@@honeydropsoftea wow the average Canadian pays that much? How much do they make in Canada? I tried to make these questions as stupid as possible so as to relate to your comment.
Context? 50% of my pay check is taken by Fed/Provincial gov here in Canada. Make any money on investments? 66.6% capital gains tax. Another $0.61/L carbon tax is coming by April which will royally f*ck me and the rest of the middle class over. Ultra rich don’t invest here and the poor get all the ‘free’ handouts because I go to work everyday for them. This country is f*cked. I’d rather live in a free US state.
It's the exchange rate!!! Canadian dollars to US dollars!!😂😂😂
lol 😂 this was hilarious 🇨🇦😆
What was so hilarious about that.
We love America. It's a joke.
Grass is greener on the other side parody...
Lol- as an American, I approve of this message 😆
And send lots of apologies for 1/2 of us 🤦♀️
apologies? Canada has been screwing the US on trade for 50 yrs and owes the US taxpayers a LOT of money!
I will leave you here with the lamp....
🤣🤣
OMG, I needed that!!!! I live 1 hour south from my Canadian neighbors in Quebec and have friends there…..believe me, I would not want to inflict our problems on you!!!! But I love to visit from time to time! 💖
We all ❤ each other and despise the demonic Central Bank controlled governments. 👍
I cant wait to visit Quebec again, but i may need to win the lottery before i can afford to go! LOL
22 minutes? More like a minute at 1:45. Must be the conversion of Canadian time to US time.
This comment took you 20 seconds to write, not 60 seconds like your name says? Must be the conversion of US time to Canadian time.
🤣🤣🤣 they don't want us moving there. Prob can't anyway, Canadian immigration levels have been drastically reduced.
And it was the best 1:46 of my day so far! 😂
@cl5080 did your wife tell you the same thing last night?
That is referring to the whole show, not just this skit. Smh.
1:08 Funny how you guys mention that, a lot of Americans do live in Mexico, with the US Department of State even estimating that 1.6 million US citizens live in Mexico today.
Quite a few live in Pattaya, Thailand also.

@@brooks8792They ain't there for Healthcare if you catch my drift.
Ugh

"That was the old Canada". 😂
I worked with someone from Romania who used her student visa to get to Canada from the U.S. She said the health care in Romania was better than what was provided by Canada.
Then why come here
She didn't know that beforehand obvs. She just bought in to the crap people told her when complaining about having to pay for insurance.
@@angelicabotones8559 Probably because Canada's GDP per capita is about three times as high as Romania's, and because Canada's politics are a lot more stable.
I've friends from Romania, either she lived in/was talking about a different country or she was looking back through very rose tinted glasses. Or she just had a really bad luck in Canada - I've family there, they say it is every bit as good as ours and we have great healthcare here, here being in Europe.
But you can also find bad doctors here and you can attend hospital when they are in the middle of a panic [I walked out of the ER once after waiting 6 hours BUT in fairness they had patients dropping dead in the waiting room and the mortuary doctor never left, she just sat in the back and either sent patients to the mortuary or got emergency treatment if they were still alive [turns out it was a mass poisoning of some sort and the patients were from a plane that that made an emergency landing after a passenger dropped dead on the flight but to someone visiting and not realising this was NOT normal it would have seemed like hell on earth, which it was unfortunately] and go away saying how bad the healthcare is based on one incident.
Yeah, free does not mean good. Two different things
Canada is more expensive than America, so I really doubt they're coming here.
I am an American and our family moved here. It is worse out there..
MOVED TO CANADA LAST YEAR, ALBERTA, NOT THE SHITHOLE EASTERN PROVINCES! AND IT'S DEFINITELY BETTER THAN AMERICA!
Expensive house vs expensive health care take ur pick
@jfc4609 You can opt out of healthcare. My health-care has cost me $3000 over the past 10 years.
I pay more now that I have insurance.
Depends - if the Americans are from around big cities or big states - Canada is cheaper. I have looked. We can keep our big American salaries too ,working remotely, so we wont bother your job market.
I wonder if they sang Gordon Lightfoot songs, like Stephen Colbert did, when he decided to see how to become a Canadian citizen.
Take care, and all the best.

LOL!
They still got it!
I have siblings there. They can't even change their doctors. It takes several months to schedule an MRI..
Most doctors are full with no room for more patients. And ya alot of hospital stuff that needs an appointment can take months. Even surgery's take months sometimes. If it's emergency surgery eg. Heart attack or major car accident then ya you will get in fast but not all rural hospitals are equipped or trained to do surgery, which is understandable I guess
@@MrPetepeeters101 thank you, but the question is WHY? Why cant you get enough doctors & nurses? Why are you so incredibly back logged? You dont have to worry about profits or shareholders. Cant blame capitalism, so whats the problem here? Why is there NO political will to solve it? You got lots of political will to import and care for immigrants, but to take care of the generational citizens? Nope!
@@inconnu4961 immigration is important to every country. As Trump put it, they aren't sending there best. But that's a whole other subject. My opinion on the backlog has to do with our universal healthcare. It's nice to have, but the downside is that everyone can afford it. So no one has to hold off on it or go to other countries to get care.
@@MrPetepeeters101same in the Uk where I live and as bad in France where I came from. To see a consultant in France, or the UK, can take months if not a full year. Waiting lists for everything. Not sure how France went from being able to see anyone anytime to that.
The NHS in the Uk was bad when I arrived back in 1997 and much worse now. Not a good a place to get old either seeing how my mother in law was treated in hospital in the UK. Beyond terrifying between negligence, incompetence and complete “don’t give a damn” attitude. And sometime border line abuse. Scary.
Depending on your insurance network, it could take you a long time just to find someone who accepts your insurance
The current 22 Minutes is spot on & so hilarious. :D
This is better than I remember them being. Maybe I should see what they're making more recently.
All paid by Russian bots!
Love Canada. God bless the Canadian people.🇺🇲🇨🇦🇨🇦
Enjoy Trudeau.
How can Americans buy-up the houses when the Chinese & Punjab own all of them, pricing Canadian locals out of the housing market. Did I forget to tell you that all the Tim Hortons franchises & businesses have all been bought up too, Canadians fired, then forced on welfare or homeless?
Are immigrants nowadays richer?
@@ianhomerpura8937 The smart immigrants i.e. newcomers (non-Canadian born) own a piece of the pie i.e. Canadian real estate and/or a business. And the ones who are disenfranchised have been duped by our beloved rich politicians i.e. Justin Trudeau. Makes sense?
The Chinese and Punjab sound like hard workers. Waiting for the mass deportation here so the unemployed Maga whose jobs were stolen can work the fields.
Same here in America 🇺🇸
@@ianhomerpura8937i don’t think he means immigrants, he is probably talking about millionaire foreign investor types.
A kinda-somewhat related and absolutely true story. When Covid hit, a Canadian expat, Allison Parliament, was up with her family in southern Ontario. On seeing her Jeep with American license plates she was verbally assaulted and told to get out of the country by an angry stranger in a parking lot. It shook her badly. As a way to maybe make folks smile during that dark time she bought a bag of little yellow rubber ducks and put one on another Jeep as a random act of kindness. Long story short, the story went viral, and ducking Jeeps is now a huge thing in the Jeeping community around the world. Ms. Parliament died earlier this year.
Thank you for sharing this. I had noticed this trend and wondered what it was all about. We own a Jeep but haven't been "ducked" yet. I need to carry this on, I love it!

This skit is so reflective of our current society , depicts every detailed nuances of current canadian mindset. thats how art should be, like a mirror but in an intriguing way
Yea...I don't think even the Americans can afford our houses....so housing won't change much - if at all.
Housing prices have started to go down a little, at least in BC. Still, I think Americans should stay the out of Canada. Their NIMBYism and shift to investing in housing instead of stocks and businesses is what got us into our current mess.
have you seen the exchange rate?
@@JC-PSC The Americans who want to leave the US are not the same as the Americans who do the NIMBYism...
I MARRIED A NICE GAL FROM SOUTHERN ALBERTA (NOT KD LANG!) AND SHE ALREADY HAS A HOUSE THAT'S PAID FOR, SO IT'S ALL GOOD...

Ya had me scared for a sec. I thought they were coming back to America. 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Venezuela seems to run their country the way liberals want a country run. Considering the number of Venezuelans, who came to America, there’s plenty of room.
Canada and the U.S. are BOTH expensive, just in different ways. In Canada, it's housing/food/gas, exacerbated by lower wages and the CAD being worth less than USD. In the U.S., it's absolutely our for profit healthcare.
I do not think healthcare is expensive. The national average for insurance is $700 a month. That is 12.7% of the median income. I do not think 12.7% is too much. But it is too much for low-wage people.
Damn dude that was so clever. It makes fun of the idea that Americans can solve their problems just by moving to Canada, points out the issues we really are struggling with, but still makes Canada seem good.
we dont think it will solve our problems. some of us are trying not to literally die
@@PlumHoll0w Don’t even bother they can’t even possibly comprehend how expensive our healthcare really is. My husband‘s aunt broke her arm in the United States. They were scared they were gonna have to get in the car and go back to the hospital in Canada.

I'm an American , and my wife and are good friends with another couple from Canada who have a vacation home in palm springs california , season passes to Disneyland and spend a lot of time on various cruises to different parts of the world . Do we envy them ? Maybe a little , but we have a decent life , own our own home here in California , we go to Disneyland when we want ( my wife retired from there after 20 years of putting up with tons of b.s. ) and we saved up and went on a cruise to alaska ( our first real vacation ever . ) I can understand Canadiens frustration with Americans wanting to move there. But take it as a complement that you have such a beautiful country and you've taken such good care of it .
As a Canadian, I don’t mind Americans moving here, as long as it’s done legally. We’ve got plenty of room!
@@shelleymarion7412 Is that Canada-speak for "give it your best shot, I give it one winter and you're gone"?
@ lol maybe?
Moved to Calgary in the early 2000's for two years, from Texas. The first winter a Canadian sly asked me "well what do you think of the winters"? My response - "almost as cold as Wyoming but without the wind"! They didn't know I'd lived in Wyoming for 12 years, and at much higher elevation.
@ to be fair, winters in Calgary are not that drastic. Try spending a winter in the prairies or up north🥶🥶🥶

Whoever wrote this skit is definitely talented !! Not Canadian but appreciate the humor in a political subject that is affecting all of us in some way. Americans, Canadians, Europeans etc are all telling the migrants " go back home and fix your own country". Enjoyed my laugh of the day 😊
I really liked the go back to where you came from greeting, as a native ontariowin I use that a lot.
When I moved from Indiana to Arizona someone told me to go back where I came from. I thought that it was odd for someone to believe that since they were there first that they had some right to tell others not to come there.
And I thought it was a very rude thing to say to someone.
@@Matthew_Loutner lecture me on being rude if your the right color to do so, if not I strongly advise you to keep it shut and don't attend any community events
@@Matthew_Loutnermaybe the Indian Tribes should say that to the Arizonian
@pinkiesue849 The Native Americans are basically nice people, and they do not want to say rude things to Arizonans. They welcome Arizonans with open arms.
You are not American, so I will tell you something about Arizona. If you go to Phoenix, Arizona and go to the far East side, you will find Scottsdale Road. That is a dividing line. On the East side of Scottsdale Road nothing can be built because it is an Indian reservation and the tribe has absolute legal control over everything East of Scottsdale Road for miles. It is all tribal land, and the Native Americans live there and have their own governments and schools and everything.

Technically you're correct. But compared to USA, yes there is.

"look free healthcare" points to an ambulance which isn't covered by Canadian healthcare
Depends what you are talking about. I had to go to the regional cardiac hospital twice by Ambulance and it was covered. Some situations are covered without insurance and some are not. So what's the situation in the USA?
@@jimdavison4077 Insurance only covers a portion of the fee (depends on your coverage/plan.) If you're admitted, though, it's generally waived. This prevents people with the basic flu or a sprained ankle from calling the ambulance, thus limiting availability to people who really need it.
@The_Midwesterner yes, makes sense. We have insureance here through work which picks up the tab for an ambulance , again its covered with our provincial governments healthcare in some cases and not in others. Back in 2016 my mom was dignised with stage four liver cancer which was spreading by the time she spoke to her doctor. Our family doctor of 40 years had retired and brought in a young male doctor to replace him. She didn't feel comfortable with him so she kept putting it off and off until it was simply to late. He tirned out to be great following up on everything right away aranging consults and so on. Even calling on the weekends and evenings to check on her. He does thatfor me now with my heart condition. Long and short mom had tests and consults at three levels, local hospital oncology, provinces capital hospital and the regional hospital speaking with the best expert there. We came up with a an to try and extend her life and give her the best quality of life . She had rejected moving in with my wife and I for years when we asked but now she accepted it. The Dr arranged for home care nursing as needed so at first twice a week then five times a week. We had a long lostof hospital equipment to draw from to make it easier to look after her with the homecare nurses filling the forms out. No charge for anything. She was on daily injections of blood thinners i had to learn how to give her, chemo, heavy pain meds and so on all paid for by our province. I grew up raised by my grand parents and mom so I have been around many dying people held many hands as they left this world. Moms was the most peaceful. She died in the arms of those who loved her and left not one bill to be paid. Thats what every person in the world should have access to. We are not here to make the rich more money while they sit on their ass. We all deserve a standard of dignity in my opinion. I have had two heart attacks and been rushed 500 miles to have a simple angiogram done there because we're to small a place to afford such a unit in our hospital. Both times during the process something happened that could have seen me dead had it not been for the quik response of the team doing the process. Having access to specialists takes building large teams with redundancies in them so people are not put at risk so it cost a lot of money to maintain these abilities. Sadly it seems provincial health ministers are sabataging their own systems some places so that for profit facilities can come in. Passing legislation banning them would go a long way to stopping this practice. Whether its done federaly or provincially it will take leaders with a lot of guts.
I wonder if that was intentional, subtly illustrating American's misunderstanding of Canada's "free healthcare."
@@FarginBastiges THere is no such thing as Canadian healthcare as it's all mandated by the provinces and in many cases Ambulances are covered by provinces healthcare. Of course not all. It varies greatly by province with Ontario and Alberta the two Conservative strongholds having some of the lowest levels of healthcare.
If you start running away because you don’t like the way things are!! You’ll never stop running be content with what you have. So many have nothing.
Almost correct, stay where you are and take back what's yours by force***
I disagree on this one, I runaway from China to Canada for a better life because I’m gay and I wanted to have a family one day, and that day has come. So from my experience running away sometimes can help, but it doesn’t solve all your problems automatically.
Oh put a clamp on your bouche, it's a bloody joke
@@hang5260 Yuanyun is that you?
That logic would have us living in caves. We didn’t like caves so technology improved and we don’t live in caves.
Or…..
Horses vs cars or trains.
Technology is driven by not being satisfied with what we have.
Leaving a country could be running from something. It can also be striving for something better.
Just saying
THE HALLWAY AT THE HOSPITAL WAAS FULL! i cant.. XD

I live in Canada, it sucks in different ways than the USA but it still sucks.
Where do you live. I live in Atlantic Canada and it's great. Economy has been booming for about 15 years now.
the art of living apparently entails having to navigate around things that suck and not run to somewhere where it sucks too, just in different ways. Ain't life funny sometimes?
Simply brilliant. Every line hilarious.
You going to mention Chinese buying 5-6 houses at a time too?
never! they want us to be angry neighbors.
Reminds me of SCTV... I'm really old.
The Great White North
SCTV was GREAT TV! You arent old, you are a CLASSIC!
Yep, lived there for 12 great years, 1973-1985. Prices were much higher, but I was welcomed, even treated with a special respect, it seemed. I had two children while I lived there, and paid nothing for healthcare because I was on a lower income. When one of my daughters went back 15 yrs later to go to college, she faced a lot of harassment (probably jealousy) from both counselors and students, and was robbed by an Australian "friend". My other daughter would probably like to go back now, but I hope she doesn't try. "Back then" you couldn't even have made a joke like this one, about Canadians. Twisted hate spreads faster than love.
who said anything about hate? Wow, that escalated quickly! if anyone was hated upon, its the Americans (of course).
This was fire lol
I was born and now live on the west coast of Canada. The health care is free, but is completely overwhelmed. We allowed 3 million immigrants in the last 3 years. Average age 41, all getting free healthcare day 1.

“Free” my ass. You pay through nose in taxes, then go on a loooong waiting list for an mri or to see a specialist, or get a surgery.
That's what happens when the middleman, the government, takes his half for being between you and your doctor!
Taxes are actually lower in Canada for the average person than in the US, and you don't have to deal with the bureaucracy of private health insurers deciding how you get treated or reimbursed.
@ lmao. 1st, no, taxes are not lower in Canada. 2nd, no you don’t have to deal with insurance. You have to deal with goobermemt putting you on a waiting list. That’s why it takes 2-3 times longer for an mri or specialist care and surgery in Canada.
@@terrygregory3456 I'd much prefer someone I can vote out being between me and my doctor, compared to health insurance companies trying to make a profit. Canadians pay less in taxes than Americans do in insurance premiums + copays for treatment/medications/etc.

Nothing against the giy. BUt this woman is funny. Shes spot on EVERYTIME
The hallway at the hospital bit is not really a joke. My wife was an RN trained in MD, she had to pass the NCLEX test for Canada and worked at the Royal Hospital in in Ottawa. They assigned her to ICU where she got to care for overflow patients from MED/SURG. They were the lucky ones; the overflow was now filling up the hallways. Real ICU patients were SOL. Many of the overflow MED/SURG patients were rally in need of hospice care. There was no hospice care in Ottawa at that time. The city had two empty hospital buildings that could have been outfitted as hospice, mais non! I won't go into detail on the confusion she ran into because of the language problems inherent in their system. It was one big 🤔🙄
"No more right-wing fascism for us",,,
Off to that left wing fascism! 😂😂😂
Either too far to the right or too far to the left is really not an ideal, whatever happened to regular normal governments? I totally concur with the new so called modern ways I am totally disgusted with. I will not go into detail, but the ones that I talk about already know it, just so laughable and disgusting what we witness sometimes. And the only question on your lips is: you people do that?
Whatever, sanity shall be mine.
Oh, and I do want to add, good people who have always had a very different life from other people who have a much more chaotic life and always and every day state that they are not in the mood to even think about what some chaotic people do and they state that they themselves are wired the old fashioned normal way and they have always and will always be on the straight away, and then the crazy people start to lie about the regular people and make up nasty things and even threaten the regular people who have never even thought about such crazy things and are in a much better position and in control of their own lives. Well, shall the chaotic people that think they can lie and threaten regular people based on very nasty lies, eventually see that they will get nowhere with such such tactics.

We in Sweden got "free" healthcare too. We only pay half of the income tax to fund it and it still doesn't work. It's completely horrible.
Canadians pays about 10% more taxes, for that we get so many more programs and perks that it saves us thousands of dollars a year. New parents can take up to 18 months paid time off to help settle in. Government funding for child care, health care, education levels much higher than the USA, much lower crime, social nets the US just would not dream of and above all freedoms. We ranked fifth in the world in freedoms based of 2021 figures while the US ranked 62nd. The US was downgraded to a flawed democracy by the UN in 2016. A banana republic basically. The fact a rapist could even be on the ballot shows how messed up the USA is.
@@jimdavison4077 I'm no fan of the US system. Our problem is 3rd world immigration. It worked great before that. How high income tax do you got? We have around 27-28%.
@@jimdavison4077anyone who takes anything the UN has to say is an idiot. Two of the best things the US could do is leave the UN and get out of NATO.
There’s a reason why 10% of Swedish people and 11% of Canadians rather pay out-of-pocket for healthcare then accept government healthcare. If you have even a little bit more money, you want what America has, choices, not government limits over your life.
@@jimdavison4077government freezing bank accounts of those protesting government policies, government censoring those who post opposing positions on social media, government subsidizing big media which then become propagandists for the government...yeah, that doesn't sound like a banana republic to me.
